Transforming Cockcrow Bridge, How the UK's first Living Heathland Bridge Was Built 2023–26 by drone

Описание: Experience the full construction journey of the Cockcrow Bridge Living Heathland, captured from 2023 to 2026 with my drone.

This video brings together drone footage, timelapse sequences, ground‑level progress shots, and long‑term transformation visuals to show how the bridge evolved from a major infrastructure challenge into a thriving, biodiverse heathland habitat.

🌿 About the Living Heathland Project
As part of the wider M25 Junction 10 / A3 Wisley Interchange improvements, the Cockcrow Bridge required not just engineering excellence but ecological sensitivity. The solution: a living heathland designed to reconnect habitats, support wildlife movement, and reflect the rare lowland heath that defines the surrounding landscape.
This installation is a showcase of how modern infrastructure can integrate biodiversity, sustainability, and long‑term ecological value.

📹 What You’ll See in This Video
• Early‑stage construction and groundwork (2023)
• Structural progress and bridge formation
• Installation of substrate layers and ecological materials
• Heathland planting, shaping, and establishment
• Seasonal changes and habitat development
• Final 2026 visuals showing the maturing living landscape
This is a complete visual record of a rare and ambitious ecological installation.

📍 Why This Project Matters
Cockcrow Bridge is more than a crossing — it’s a wildlife corridor, a habitat connector, and a statement of ecological ambition within a nationally significant road upgrade. It supports:
• Reptiles
• Invertebrates
• Heathland flora
• Bird species
• Broader landscape connectivity
It’s a model for how infrastructure can give back to nature.
